Quick Chicken Parmesan

*sings*
"Like the fella once said,
Ain't that a kick in the head?"

Ah, Dean...gotta love a good Dean song. OH! Hiya ladies and gents. Damn Tuesday comes back around so quickly but we like it that way eh?
So as you may have read in the beginning of this entry we're getting in touch with our inner Bellas Italian heritage this week courtesy of yours truly. So while researching (yep, we do end up doing some research. You can think of us as blog chick smarties haha) for this week's recipe I came across this in my bookmarked tab for recipes and I actually completely forgot about this recipe. Like it was a D-list celebrity and I'm not talking Charlie Sheen status cause let's be real he is pretty epic these days. So I decided why not? Everyone loves some chicken and who doesn't love some pasta? Yeah, thought so. :]. It comes from the Campbell's website (Quick Chicken Parmesan) and it's really simple. Like getting out your favorite coloring book and crayons and coloring kind of simple....what you don't color?...*crickets* Um, am I alone here?...okie well...OH ANYWHO! lol

So how goes this recipe? Follow me dolls:


Quick Chicken Parmesan

Source: Campbell's Kitchen
Prep: 5 minutes
Bake: 25 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound)
2 cups Prego® Traditional Italian Sauce or Fresh Mushroom Italian Sauce
2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 package (8 ounces) spaghetti, cooked and drained (about 4 cups)

* Place the chicken in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Top the chicken with the sauce. Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
* Bake at 400°F. for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken and sauce with the spaghetti.







Okie before I go on I have to tell you all that no matter what that recipe says PLEASE PLEASE cook that clucking piece of tastiness until it is fully cooked. Don't take that 25 minutes in stone. Every oven varies and we had ours in for almost an hour.

Phew! I feel better, now onto the food. We loved it! Very classic and filling. Everyone liked it around here as well. So I'd score that one as a hit. Wouldn't you??



Tid Bits:

*As always garlic bread is a nice companion for this dish as well as a nice small side salad. Whatever floats your Italian gondola.

*Have GERD? We do, yep both Ma and I have it. We suggest slow cooking the tomato sauce for a few hours and jazz it up! Cut up some peppers or add some Italian seasoning. We say whatever makes your spaghetti sauce sassy then throw it into this recipe.

*Oh and to give it extra creamy pep? Try stirring in some ricotta cheese.



Ma's Spot: Really really liked this one. It's a lot easier than having to bread your chicken and cook it up. Place the chicken in the sauce and let it cook. Please always remember to add things to jazz up your jar of sauce. You don't always have to do homemade sauce because your jar sauce is the basis of homemade sauce anyways. What you do with it is what makes the difference. So to add creams, wine, veggies, etc.. you can't go wrong.



That's it peeps! Time to part ways for another week but you know the drill we'll be back next week with another fab dish to make your mouths water. Next week is Ma's pick and it's delish! It's an American classic with a spicy twist? What in the good golly hell could that mean? Meet us here next week to find out. Have a great week guys!
